Stay off the Social Media Naughty List with this Fun Quiz

by Edie Melson @EdieMelsonI know, nothing like a pop quiz to get us all in the holiday spirit. But don't click away too soon. This quiz is designed to help you evaluate where you are with building an online platform.

I
hope you enjoy my impromptu quiz. To stay on Santa’s nice list, no cheating
allowed.

Take the quiz first, then look at the answers below.

Rules

I’ve kept it short because we’re all time-challenged right
now.

Read each statement and decide whether following it puts you
on the NAUGHTY or NICE list.

Give yourself 2 points for each correct answer.

Naughty or Nice Pop
Quiz

1. You try to acknowledge those who mention you on social media.

2. You load your social media updates with hashtags—the more the merrier.

3. You avoid sounding like you're lecturing on your blog by using we
and I
instead of you.

4. You take time to do a quick typo check before you send
out an update.

5. You send out updates, but don’t bother with conversations
because they’re too time-consuming.

6. You try to reciprocate when someone follows you on
Twitter (if they're not a spammer or creepy).

7. You use Edie’s 5 to 1 rule about updates to keep your
social media from becoming me focused.

8. You have found your social media sweet spot and are
concentrating your effort there instead of trying to do everything.

9. You use images you find online without making sure about
copyright because they should be all right to use since they're available to the public.

10. You expect people to share your social media updates,
but rarely share things from others.

11. You try to be consistent in the time you spend on social
media, keeping it to no more than thirty minutes a day.

12. Social media is overwhelming so you only do it when you
have to.

13. You watch your social media numbers like a
hawk—frequently checking several times a day to see that they’re growing.

14. You try every new social media network that comes along.

15. You utilize a scheduling program to manage your social
media updates.

Scoring

14-15 points: You’re well on your way to social media success.

11-13 points: You’re headed in the right direction, but it’s time
to up your game.

6-10 points: Uh-Oh, you probably need to brush up on some of the
basics.

social media.
